Juan Gouveia-Aguilera was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for his role in an ATM jackpotting scheme in Nebraska, according to a report by WOWT.

The U.S. Attorney's Office claims that Gouveia-Augilera stole more than $3.5 million through ATM jackpotting, a technique where one installs malware on the machine to get it to dispense cash.

This is the longest sentence ever given for ATM jackpotting, according to the report.
